Today I continued making the chair but it wasnt sucessful so I started a new one! I havn't finished yet so i WILL COME TOMOROW LUNCH BRAKE TO FINISH IT.

Today Ms.Castro checked my Investigation and corrected my work, I have to write my design and plan in much more detail. I didnt correct it but i am going to do it at home because at home I havent got sketchup. I also tried to make a cinema chaior but it isnt very good.

Today I didnt find my project/creation that I've been doing the past two lessons so I had to start all over again. I think the first one I did was better than this one but its ok I will do a better one!:) Now at home I will have to improove my introduction, investigation, design and plan because I think it could be much better!!!!

Today Its St.Valentines' day so we had to construct something that was related to this speasial day. And this is my design!!!! Happy Valentines day!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

Reflection:
Today I added some writing and important information that I didnt put last time on my design and plan. Ms.castro is going to correct my project so I can work at home and correct everything.

Today I made a decision; I chose I was going to design a cinema and that will be chalenging. I started my design, and finished it. I have also Done my plan and I will be waiting for Ms.Castro to correct it so I can start my own design.

Today I wanted to start my design but I didnt have any idea for my design (what would I do for my project), I thought of a cinema, or a park, or a bedroom and now I havnt got any ideas still. The time I've wasted today on thinking I will finish at home what I had to do during the classroom.

Reflection:
Today Ms.Castro corrected my investigation and She made the comment that my investigation nedded to be in more detail. So that was what I did and I started to describe how a pre-made sketchup design was made.

Reflection

Today I advanced well by correcting everything that ms.castro told me to and I am really curiouse about what I am going to design on sketchup.

Todays' reflection:
This weekend i have finished my investigation so today ms.castro corrected my investigation and I was correcting everything.
I think i'm doing well in this investigation because I had already advanced everything.

Reflection

Today I shared a computor with Sara and we started by writing our introduction and then by constructing a 3D model tent just for practising our skills.

Today I researched about sketchup and I started writing my introduction.

Today i saw the sketchup tutorials and while waiting I constructed a modern house just for fun and i didnt finish seeing at tutorials.

TERM 2: With mrs Castro
Today I reasearched about sketchup and I saw this video that explained all about it
e.g How to construct a wall, how to put different materials....
I started constructing a house just to experiment it and its pretty good for a starter.
The problem was that I put water on the roof and Ms.Castro asked me where did it come from, I didnt know; so with my real house I will better Investigate and plan first and than creat...

Reflection

Today I selected the most important information I had so next lesson I can start building my narration. But at home I will strat it so next lesson I will be more advanced.

Today in class I selected all the important information that I had for my narration so next lesson I can start building my narration, but though at home I will start it so I will be more advanced.

reflection:
today I finished my investigation by researching everything it was said and I responded everything.

reflection for today:

Today I researched about the 'Mosteiro of Jeronimos' and I got lots of pictures about it! I also organized my it folder by putting 'photostory practice', 'images it' and 'real photostory'. I organized it because when I need to open a work I know where it is and I dont need to skim threw all my work.

Reflection:
today I tried to load AGAIN my photostory (practice)to my photobucket acount and to my blogg and i did it! So than I choosed the theme for my real photostory and I chose the Monistary of Jeronimos, I did some research about that place and I found lots of pictures and information.

Photostory reflection:

What did i like?
In my project I like the idea that my subject is 'Things I like', I put thing that I thought were cute and some things I really like , like Shakira, surf...

What I didn't like?
I didn't like that I put just few pictures when I could have put moreb of them and have put more comments on the pictures.

What I would do different?
What I would do different on my photostory is that how I allready said before I would put more comments and pictures.

How can It be improved?
As I said before I would have put much more pictures about things that I like for e.g. Bands, Famous people, animals, sports...
